Sky vs. Storm Preview

The Sky have struggled away from home down the stretch, dropping six consecutive road contests. Despite these team road woes, Chicago remains a dominant force on the glass behind frontcourt anchor Kamilla Cardoso and versatile forward Azurá Stevens.

The Sky prioritize rim protection and controlling defensive rebounds to limit secondary possessions for opposing wings.

Seattle enters Sunday's matchup following a tightly contested 84-82 loss to the Portland Fire on Friday night. With key wing Flau'jae Johnson sidelined due to an ankle injury, the Storm have inserted Jordan Horston into the starting lineup alongside Dominique Malonga and Ezi Magbegor.

While Horston delivered a standout 11-rebound effort in Friday's loss, her overall role and usage profile present a prime regression candidate.

Sky vs. Storm Prediction

Our Action Network PRO Projections flag Jordan Horston Under 4.5 Rebounds as a prime edge for Sunday's slate.

Horston grabbed 11 rebounds on Friday night against Portland, inflating her prop total to 4.5.  However, that performance was a significant anomaly. On the season, Horston averages 3.7 rebounds per game in 2026.

Prior to Friday's outburst, Horston went Under 4.5 rebounds in 8 of her previous 9 games. She recorded 6, 3, 1, 3, 0, 4, 5, and 4 rebounds in her previous appearances, staying below 5 boards in the vast majority of games.

In these teams' previous meeting on August 10, Horston played 23 minutes in the starting lineup and logged 6 rebounds. However, Chicago's physical frontcourt rotation featuring Kamilla Cardoso and Azurá Stevens makes defensive rebounding contested for perimeter wings. Most of the glass work is funneled toward Seattle's primary interior anchors, Dominique Malonga and Ezi Magbegor.

PRO Projections project Horston for 3.02 rebounds in Sunday's game, accounting for her projected minutes share alongside Seattle's primary frontcourt crashers. Betting on the Under 4.5 capitalizes on market recency bias driven by Friday's single outlier performance.

Best Bet: Jordan Horston Under 4.5 Rebounds (-116, DraftKings)
